Prior authorization means your insurance company wants approval before they agree to pay for a medication, scan, or treatment. A lot of these delays are administrative, not just medical. Ask: Was it submitted? Pending or denied? Appeal needed? People are not wrong for being frustrated.

Spoke at BAAM on Black fathers and neurodiversity. The research supports it. But beyond research, lived experience confirms it. Presence changes trajectories. Black fathers are not assistants in the home. We are stabilizers. If you’re blessed to be present, stay. #BlackFathers #Neurodiversity
Jeremiyah Love went No. 3 overall in the NFL Draft. His family has spoken publicly about autism-related traits they noticed when he was younger and how support mattered more than forcing him to fit somebody else’s mold. Support changes outcomes. St. Louis stand up.
The United States withdraws from the World Health Org. WHO coordinates disease surveillance, outbreak response, and global health guidance. Public health experts warn that reduced coordination can delay early warnings and weaken response systems. This is about health infrastructure, not politics.
Medical schools are no longer being clearly required to teach future doctors about health inequities the way they were before, according to STAT’s reporting on updated LCME standards. This is not abstract. Patients feel it in real life.
There’s new reporting about an mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer showing promise in an early trial. This is treatment research, not prevention. We lost someone close to me, Jonathan P. Hicks, to pancreatic cancer. So when I hear news like this, I hear possibility. Hope, caution, or both?
Since it’s Women’s History Month, this story hits harder. Reuters and AP report that Dolores Huerta said she stayed silent for decades because she believed telling the truth would hurt the movement she helped build with César Chávez.  How many women have done that in silence?
April is Autism Awareness Month. We need a real conversation about autism in Black and Brown communities. Too often the signs get missed or minimized. Prayer has a place, but prayer is not a substitute for evaluation. When signs are ignored, kids lose time.
Birth trauma is real, and our community sees it too often. Do not labor alone. Know your hospital. Speak up early. Partners advocate. Recording can protect you. Mental health after childbirth matters. #MinorityHealthPartners
Measles elimination meant the virus stopped spreading widely, not that it disappeared. Outbreaks like this happen when protection weakens. This is a reminder of how public health works and why prevention matters.
We often honor scientific contributions long after the work is done. But some of the most important voices in medicine and public health are still here, still educating, still answering questions. Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett is one of them. Hidden figures don’t have to stay hidden.
"ICE is determined to expand its capacity to detain people to more than 100,000 people at any given time, which is really a shocking number and parallel to the number of Japanese Americans that were incarcerated during World War II."
Last week Iran hit a key UAE port that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz. Jesse Watters repeatedly made light of it. His co-hosts took it far more seriously. The PBS News Hour included much needed context.
Hezbollah ensures Israel can no longer hide its losses. Cheaply made FPV drones are crushing tanks & bases, inflicting soldier casualties in the 100s. Israel is now unable to hide its losses due to it all being caught on film. Robert Inlakesh on the implications of these new drone warfare tactics:
